Coastal zones are home to complex ecosystems, providing nesting grounds for iconic species:
- such as marine birds and turtles on the land side,
- and nursery grounds and shelter for much of our marine life on the seaside.
At the same time, as home to an ever-larger proportion of the human population, coastal zones are key to a plethora of economic activities. The equilibrium between the need for economic development and the need to protect the environment often hangs by a fine thread, balancing between conflicting interests.
The workshop will review the existing assets that Copernicus services can deploy to address biodiversity in coastal zones and look at how this can be improved, given the resources available.
The workshop will be split in dedicated sessions to discuss and prioritize user needs as follows:
Day 1, 11 October 2022
- Session 1: Biodiversity and coastal resources – setting the scene
- Session 2: Biodiversity versus economic development
Day 12, 12 October 2022
- Biodiversity conservation in a context of climate change
- A future Green Copernicus at coast
